Abstract

Female patients with a history of abdominal trauma or surgery can present with abdominal pain and swelling secondary to peritoneal inclusion cysts. These cysts develop as a result of faulty absorption of physiologic ovarian secretions by the peritoneum after irritation from trauma. Cyst size can be decreased by hormonal pharmacotherapy, but cysts are often difficult to eradicate, even with surgical management.
